Lucky are those who have good eyesight. Truth be told, I took for granted my 20/20 vision until the day the doctor told me I need to be fitted with prescription glasses. My vision defect is called hyperopia, also known as farsightedness---this causes difficulty focusing on near objects, a clearer vision on distant objects. It's a common problem that comes with aging but I was only 32, and my mom had better eyesight. For somebody who loves to read, reading glasses really improved my life---it reduced my headaches and squinting. And when I forget my glasses? I couldn't even read the menu, I had to ask the waiter to read it for me. And forget texting! If I don't text back, it means my reading glasses are somewhere else!:p

My last eye check-up was in November last year. I usually have my eyes checked a few weeks after my birthday. The doctor suggested progressive lenses but I'm not ready for it, psychologically.:p So he prescribed another pair of glasses for driving.

2. Do you think eyeglasses affect your looks, your lifestyle?

Yes and yes. I think I look "older" with glasses...people started calling me "ma'am", it used to be "miss".:p A girlfriend gets excited while we're in a restaurant and I couldn't even see clearly what or who she's excited about! Imagine all those sexy, good-looking guys walking by and I missed them! My sister just told me that I look like an old woman when texting without my glasses on. Who would want to read at the beach wearing a pair of reading glasses? *LOL*

i had my eye check up last year December and yes it affects my lifestyle because i feel like i can't survive without my glasses. when i'm not wearing my glasses, i have to always do a second look or third look at everything...nakakainis.

1. Just had my eyes checked and had new lenses put in the D&G frames that I love.2. Actually, I love my eyeglasses. I get so many compliments on them. I looked long and hard for this particular frame after seeing it in a D & G ad in a magazine. I actually met with a company rep to try them on before purchasing them. I love them so much that I had new lenses put into them when my eye prescription changed.

I get my eyes checked once a year. I do it to make sure there is nothing else I should be worry about. Glasses makes someone look more studious. I don't wear mine, but might have to one day.Thanks for linking up this week. Have a great weekend
